It was cool when the Smash community banned the new characters at Evo even though they had been out for like 8 weeks or something

hosed up that it was the only tournament game where Ryu was banned

It is, and the way it was handled was terrible. Bad enough that I'll not really buy another NRS game on PC unless things REALLY change next iteration. Like, an actual well-regarded PC port company and WB not publishing it, or overwhelmingly positive feedback on the port.

The Doomguy in the new DooM game has a better relationship with demons than WB does with the PC market.

Yeah there's no way I'm buying an NRS game again, at least capcom's wet fart of an effort beats dropping support for a platform with zero warning. Also before SFV launch I was looking forward to the daily challenge thingys, and I don't think we've heard a single word about those except in the advertising. The people making this game clearly don't know what they are doing so I'm just done, this is just sad.

ASK ME WHAT MAKES ME THINK I'M SO FUNKY

Crown Face posted:

According to Capcom's Japanese blog, the whole Ibuki debacle is Capcom USA's fault because that DLC roadmap wasn't meant to be official. The roadmap was only made "official" and released based on Capcom USA's own decision - they don't have a public roadmap in Japan.

If that's actually true and not just Japan throwing their US offices under the bus, then that's pretty incredible.

In case anyone is interested, here's a quick and dirty translation of the pertinent section (literally zero effort on my part because it's like 1:30 am and I'm tired):

quote:

Ayano says:

Following our reveal on May 31st that Ibuki would be the next DLC character, we received many comments saying that we were falling behind the schedule we had originally laid out. This seems to be based on information from Capcom-Unity, the community site managed by Capcom USA. (The road map for DLC characters in 2016 was announced in this post.)

On the other hand, no such road map has been announced in Japan.

The reason that the information provided in announcements put out by Japan, America, and other regions differs is because each team is responsible for deciding what information they disclose in order to quickly respond to the needs of the players in their region.

When Capcom USA announced their own road map, we here at the Street Fighter V team in Japan also considered making our own road map public. However, after looking at how things were progressing on the development side, we decided against making any promises to Japanese players that we were not 100% sure we could keep.

As a result, the differing information coming out of each region has invited both misunderstanding and confusion from the players. We are now painfully aware of what a poor decision this was and cannot apologize enough.

Moving forward, we plan to have all information regarding future content, including the release dates of DLC characters, be uniform across regions and reported promptly.

imho, this is a big mess and i'm loving every second of it

i do like that they're bringing up the input lag on both blogs though i hope something comes of that

Well, I don't think there's going to be a Street Fighter 6 now.

How long you think it's going to be till Capcom goes the way of Konami and just quits games and just makes Pachinko machines?

I think Monster Hunter might be their only IP that they haven't torched but I know gently caress all about Monster Hunter so maybe the new one sucks, I dunno.

Street Fighter is owned by Capcom USA as of 2004, so it's unlikely to go the Konami route. Instead, it'll probably get liscenced out to sub par 3rd party contractors and we'll end up with middling to bad adaptations.

What are the chances they relicense Marvel or find a new series to VS? Sounded like there was a little hope behind the wording of what Disney/Marvel is going to do now that they said gently caress videogames.

Capcom has a ridiculous set of IPs + I still enjoy most of them (what on earth are you thinking with umbrella corps though)

Monster Hunter is still the best at what it does which is pretty impressive considering all the hunting games that have popped up in the past few years (especially on Vita since MH is on 3DS now)

For someone who has just recently gotten into watching this poo poo: how is the global popularity with fighting games at the moment, and where is the momentum compared to where it has been in the previous years? What effect do you think the popularity of Smash has on fighting games?

The way I worded that makes it sound like I'm doing research for an article, but it is for my own edification.

Fighting games have been resurging since 2009 when sfiv came with mkix out shortly thereafter. Western series like skullgirls, KI and nether realms games have been going strong for a few years along with japanese stuff like arcsys games but now the japanese devs are all releasing together this year with KOFxiv, Tekken 7, Pokken, Sfv Guilty Gear XRD revelator, and a jillion anime/manga girl games all coming out.

This is like the biggest year for major fighting games in ages and ages.

smash is a separate scene and catches flak from players of the above games
